The 76ers are coming into this game as a 5.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have been playing very well recently winning 4 of their last 5 games. They are coming off of a win on the road against the Lakers by 5 points but they had 4 different players score over 20 points in that game including their 2 best players, Embiid and Harden. The 76ers are making a big push for the playoffs and ever since they picked up Harden in a trade, they have been winning a lot more games recently. They are a very strong team and they are going up against a Clippers team that has not been playing well recently and has been pretty banged up for most of the season. The Clippers have lost 4 straight games and while they were keeping their games close, they have been fading in their last 2 games losing both of them by double digits. The 76ers are one of the best teams in the NBA right now and with the way the Clippers have been playing recently, the 76ers should have no problem covering the spread in this game.
